PC CE 03 – PROBLEM SET NO.

01

Solve the following problems legibly and accurately. Draw the necessary diagrams for each problem.

1. Classify each of the structures as statically determinate, statically indeterminate, or unstable. If indeterminate,
specify the degree of indeterminacy. The supports or connections are to be assumed as stated.

CORRECTION: FORMULA FOR DETERMINACY OF BEAMS IS N = r – 3n


(where N = degree; r = no. of reactions; n = number of members)

2. Determine the reactions on the beam. Neglect the thickness of the beam.

3. Determine the reactions on the beam.


4. Determine the reactions on the beam. The support at B can be assumed to be a roller.

5. Determine the reactions at the truss supports A and B. The distributed loading is caused by wind.

6. Classify each of the following trusses as statically determinate, statically indeterminate, or unstable. If
indeterminate, state its degree.
7. A sign is subjected to a wind loading that exerts horizontal forces of 300 lb on joints B and C of one of the side
supporting trusses. Determine the force in each member of the truss and state if the members are in tension or
compression. (Method of Joints)

8. Determine the force in each member of the truss. State if the members are in tension or compression. Assume
all members are pin connected. AG = GF = FE = ED. (Method of Joints)

9. Determine the force in members GF, FC, and CD of the bridge truss. State if the members are in tension of
compression. Assume all members are pin connected. (Method of Sections)

10. Determine the force in members GF, FB, and BC of the Fink truss and state if the members are in tension or
compression. (Method of Sections)
